Whereas much work has been done to describe N -dimensional orientations in terms of principal rotations, these developments have not been extended to the descriptions of N -dimensional kinematics. For threedimensional rotations the angular velocity can be related to derivatives of the principal angle and axis. Following a similar procedure this paper develops the kinematics for N -dimensional r...

One of the fascinating results in the one dimensional nonlinear dynamical system is that a mapping which maps a compact connected subset of the real line into itself is regular if and only if it does not have any order periodic points except fixed points. However, in general, this result does not hold true in the high dimensional case. In this paper, we provide a counter example for such kind o...

The superstability of a dynamical motion is defined with existence of a minus infinity Lyapunouv exponent, this mean that this motion is attractive. There are several methods for constructing 1-D polynomial mappings with attracting cycles or superstable cycles [1,2] based on Lagrange and Newton interpolations. Superstable phenomena in some 1-D maps embedded in circuits and systems are studied i...

This paper is concerned with target unreachability detection during on-line mobile robot navigation in an unknown planar environment. Traditionally, competitiveness characterizes an on-line navigation algorithm in cases where the target is reachable from the robot’s start position. This paper introduces a complementary notion of competitiveness which characterizes an on-line navigation algorith...

We characterize the convergence in distribution to a standard normal law for a sequence of multiple stochastic integrals of a fixed order with variance converging to 1. Some applications are given, in particular to study the limiting behavior of quadratic functionals of Gaussian processes. 1. Introduction. In this paper, we characterize the convergence in distribution to a normal N (0, 1) law f...

Presented are the results of an earthquake magnitude homogenization exercise for several datasets of induced earthquakes. The result of this exercise is to show that homogeneous computation of earthquake momentand local-magnitude is useful in hazard assessment of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs). Data include records from EGSs in Basel (Switzerland), Soultz (France) and Cooper Basin (Australi...

In this paper, we study optimal control problems for parabolic hemivariational inequalities of dynamic elasticity and investigate the continuity of the solution mapping from the given initial value and control data to trajectories. We show the existence of an optimal control which minimizes the quadratic cost function and establish the necessary conditions of optimality of an optimal control fo...

In this paper we introduce the notion of orthogonally constant mapping in an isosceles orthogonal space and establish stability of orthogonally constant mappings. As an application, we discuss the orthogonal stability of the Pexiderized quadratic equation f(x + y) + g(x + y) = h(x) + k(y).

A pseudo-Boolean function (pBf) is a mapping from f0; 1gn to the real numbers. It is known that pseudo-Boolean functions have polynomial representations, and it was recently shown that they also have disjunctive normal forms (DNFs). In this paper we relate the DNF syntax of the classes of monotone, quadratic and Horn pBfs to their characteristic inequalities.

We present a heuristic algorithm for finding a graph H as a minor of a graph G that is practical for sparse G and H with hundreds of vertices. We also explain the practical importance of finding graph minors in mapping quadratic pseudo-boolean optimization problems onto an adiabatic quantum annealer.
